Stuper Says: "Without a doubt, our most improved pitcher. He did not throw much as a freshman, but got increased innings last year. Now he is an important part of our bullpen. He has a variety of pitches from different arm angles which make it tough for a hitter. He could even get a start sometime. He is an extremely hard worker who has made himself better."
